My Working GA-H77N-WIFI i7-3770 10.8.5 setup:
MacOS Build:
LIAN LI PC-Q08B
CORSAIR CX500M 500W
GIGABYTE GA-H77N-WIFI LGA 1155 Intel H77
Intel Core i7-3770 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB)
CORSAIR Hydro Series H60
MSI N660TI-2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB
ASUS Black Blu-ray Burner SATA
TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB
OCZ Vector Series VTR1-25SAT3-256G 2.5"
Adapter for Macbook AIR SSD (2011 version 128GB)
This is a very nice looking case... be warned though it is a PAIN to get it all in there especially the water cooling... I had an old macbook air SSD laying around from an upgrade so I picked up an adapter to SATA (works great!) also got the vector as a referb, and it is a blazing fast SSD
A couple of install notes:
1. I do not remove the NVIDIA card to install, it’s a pain with the case and I had no issues. (Requires the GraphicsEnabler=No flag once you install multibeast)
2. I did not replace the wireless card, since the Bluetooth works fine, and it’s a tradeoff, external wireless or external Bluetooth. So I kept it. Again a pain to swap out and hard to find a good card.
3. I did not remove any drives to install windows, just use separate drives.
SETUP:
1. Create your unibeast drive (I have the latest build as of 9/1/2013 and the latest download of ML 10.8.4)
I don't tinker with the boot options too much since I hit 12 to boot to different drives, that option is up to you how you want it configured.
That was all I changed insert your unibeast drive in a USB port (NOTE that the USB 3 may cause issues see boot options below)
3. Reboot the box and press F12
1. The wireless doesn’t work… oh well wasn’t planning on using it anyways
